“This book’s focus is on opera house acoustics based on subjective preference theory. … The various mathematical concepts are clearly and succinctly summarized in combination with drawings and diagrams. This combination of mathematical concepts illustrated by visuals creates a content that can be understood by designers and performers that do not easily use mathematics, as well as engineers and mathematicians.” (Bonnie Schnitta, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 65 (1), January-February, 2017)

• Introduction.- Analyses of Temporal Factors of a Source Signal.- Formulations and Simulation of the Sound Field.- Model of Auditory-Brain System.- Temporal- and Spatial-Primary Percepts of the Sound and the Sound Field.- Theory of Subjective Preference for the Sound Field.- Examination of Subjective Preference Theory in an Existing Opera House.- Reverberance of the Sound Field.- Improvements of Subjective Prefences for Listeners and Performers.- Optimizing Room-Form.- Visual Temporal Sensations on the Stage Blending with Opera and Music.- Design Theory of Opera House Stage Persisting Individual Creations.- Appendix Appendix Comparison between Measured Orthogonal Factors Using a Dummy Head and Four Human-Real Heads.
